FOOD!

We decided to go ahead and start Sarah on cereal a week early. After increasing her pumped bottles while I am at work by another ounce, she still was seeming hungry and woke up in the middle of the night the last two nights to eat. She only took a few spoonfuls of cereal before she decided it was more fun to spit it out at Daddy instead.

By the way, the first couple of days with the babysitter went very poorly. It seems Sarah has an early case of separation anxiety. She did much better today which has relieved my anxiety quite a bit.

Saturday is Simon's big day to visit Thomas. Stay tuned...

Thank you Grandma!

Well, Friday was Grandma's last day for babysitting Sarah four days a week while I was at work. I am thankful for the one on one attention she got and the extra TLC that only Grandma's can give. Sarah will start at a babysitter tomorrow who I truly feel will do a great job. Joseph and I really didn't want to do the day care thing again since Simon seemed to stay sick with ear infections and colds most of his first year of life.

Thanks to Grandma, Sarah has not been sick at all since she was born and hopefully with the home environment continuing with Ms. Alma, and just a few little friends, the trend will continue. We plan on keeping Sarah with Alma until a slot opens up at Simon's school sometime after she turns 13 months. (that is the minimum age for the pre-school.)

Again, Grandma, we will never be able to repay you but just know that we appreciated everyday! (If you change your mind and want to come back and babysit for the next 7 months, we certainly won't turn you down!)

By the way, we got the high chair out this weekend so Sarah could get used to sitting in it for meals. She starts on baby food in two more weeks!

In case you ever wondered where Simon and Sarah get their eyes.

Great Aunt Dorothy

We went to see Joseph's aunt Dorothy tonight. She is Joseph's Dad's sister. Doesn't she look great!

Cute as a button

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Fair

We enjoyed the fair with Kaitlyn and April last Friday. We have been going to this fair every year with the Cain's since they got married and used to live in that neighborhood. Kaitlyn and Simon really enjoyed the rides.
